Does your child suffer from digestive and/or urinary motility problems? Do they suffer from temperature regulation issues? Do they have irregular blood pressure and/or heart rate?

When you have ruled out seizures and cannot explain the endless list of unexplained and seemingly unrelated issues, you might consider exploring Autonomic Dysfunction/Dysautonomia.

Our moderator for this session was Leah Schust Myers, Executive Director of FamilieSCN2A Foundation and mother to Ben, who has an SCN2A-related epilepsy diagnosis.

Our other panelists were:

Michelle Lewis, the acting FamilieSCN2A Vice President, whose daughter Eliana began having seizures shortly after birth, which began a five month journey in the NICU and a SCN2A diagnosis.
